– Eva Gabor
More quotes by Eva Gabor

– Nicole Scherzinger
More quotes by Nicole Scherzinger

– Brendan Fraser
More quotes by Brendan Fraser
I'm not sure anybody's ready to see me in a drama. And loving movies so much, I've seen a lot of comics try to make that transition too fast, and it can be detrimental. And I don't think I've had as much success as I need in the comedy genre to open up those opportunities.
– Seann William Scott
More quotes by Seann William Scott

– Jeffrey Dean Morgan
More quotes by Jeffrey Dean Morgan
I'm in the studio 24 hours a day. It's true that once you get a certain level of success, you become a target. Talk magazine should be ashamed of themselves.
– Puff Daddy
More quotes by Puff Daddy
I'm glad that my parents missed one thing that was really unbelievable. They saw me hit this great success. It was a blast and we had a lot of laughs. And it was just an amazing time. They passed away. And then after I got, you know, famous, all these haters came out of nowhere.
– Dane Cook

– Larry Hagman
More quotes by Larry Hagman
I was as happy doing theater in New York for little or no money as I am now doing television for more money. The happiness, I guess, comes out of it being a good job. The success has to do with the fact that it's a good job that will continue.
– David Hyde Pierce
More quotes by David Hyde Pierce
I was a little different. I still say I'm a little different, because success to me is not having the most money, or having the biggest car or the biggest house.

– Andy Murray
More quotes by Andy Murray
I used to think that if I had success I would have freedom. But I have less freedom now than I've ever had. And what gives me satisfaction is not the jewelry and not the cars. What gives me satisfaction is doing things for others, like children.

– Paulo Coelho
More quotes by Paulo Coelho
I think the success of democracy is not really police security it's the presence of a broad middle class. The stronger the middle class of a people is, the less you have to worry about one group coming in and exploiting the democratic process for its own ends.
– King Abdullah II
More quotes by King Abdullah II
I think the success of a talk show depends on how true it is to the personality of the person hosting it. The shows I really admire, like 'Oprah' and 'Ellen,' are distinctively like their hosts, so I think my show will be successful only if we try to stay consistent to my own sense of myself.
– Jane Pauley
More quotes by Jane Pauley
I think the measure of your success to a certain extent will be the amount of things written about you that aren't true.
– Cybill Shepherd
More quotes by Cybill Shepherd
I think the idea that you know who your inner self is on a daily basis, because... you know. What's good for you 25 years ago may not be good for you now. So, to keep in touch with that, I think that's the first ingredient for success. Because if you're a successful human being, everything else is gravy, I think.
– Whoopi Goldberg
More quotes by Whoopi Goldberg
I think that when we have a better educated society, when there is less violence in our cities, when people get back into the workforce and have the opportunity to take care of themselves and their families - that for me really is the kind of success and the kind of America that I think most of us still want, we aspire to.
– Michael Nutter
More quotes by Michael Nutter
I think that the reason for my success is that I am really not aspirational. I am inspirational in that the people at home feel like they can really relate to me.
– Rosie O'Donnell
More quotes by Rosie O'Donnell
I think that the entertainment industry itself has a history of chasing success. Any time a hit product comes out, all the other companies start chasing after that success and trying to recreate it by putting out similar products.
– Shigeru Miyamoto
More quotes by Shigeru Miyamoto
I think that my biggest attribute to any success that I have had is hard work. There really is no substitute for working hard.
– Maria Bartiromo
More quotes by Maria Bartiromo
I think that everything you do helps you to write if you're a writer. Adversity and success both contribute largely to making you what you are. If you don't experience either one of those, you're being deprived of something.
– Shelby Foote
More quotes by Shelby Foote
I think that everybody in the world, whatever colour or creed, has a jerk like JR in his or her family somewhere. Whether it is a father, uncle, cousin or brother, everybody can identify with JR and that certainly had something to do with the success of 'Dallas.'
– Larry Hagman
More quotes by Larry Hagman
I think success right now is not about how famous you are or how much you're getting paid, but it's more about if you're steadily working and you're happy with what you're doing.
– Sarah Hyland

– Brenda Blethyn
More quotes by Brenda Blethyn
I think people in Botswana are pleased that my books paint a positive picture of their lives and portray the country as being very special. They've made a great success of their country, and the people are fed up with the constant reporting of only the problems and poverty of the continent. They welcome something which puts the positive side.
– Alexander McCall Smith
More quotes by Alexander McCall Smith
I think our failure in the production of good town churches of distinctive character must have struck you often, as it has me, when contrasted with our comparative success in country churches.
– George Edmund Street
More quotes by George Edmund Street
I think most people believe success in government is how many fewer people are in government, not because you kick them off of benefits like unemployment but they've been able to control their own destiny because private sector employers have created more jobs.
– Scott Walker

I think it's real easy to be famous these days it's not real easy to sustain success.
– Jerry Jeff Walker
More quotes by Jerry Jeff Walker
I think I've always been somebody, since the deaths of my father and brother, who was afraid to hope. So, I was more prepared for failure and for rejection than for success.
– Amy Tan

I think I am missing a gene that most people have to enable them to feel happiness about success and these kind of things.
– Bennett Miller

I think all those people I did stories about measured their own success by the joy their work was giving them.
– Charles Kuralt
More quotes by Charles Kuralt
I think all of us certainly believed the statistics which said that probably 88% chance of mission success and maybe 96% chance of survival. And we were willing to take those odds.

I stand ready to lead us down a different path where we're lifted up by our desire to succeed, not dragged down by a resentment of success.
– Mitt Romney
More quotes by Mitt Romney
I sort of understood that when I first started: that you shouldn't repeat a success. Very often you're going to, and maybe the first time you do, it works. And you love it. But then you're trapped.
– Jack Nicholson
More quotes by Jack Nicholson
I should just put it bluntly, because we're all sort of friends here now - it's exceedingly likely that my greatest success is behind me. Oh, so Jesus, what a thought! You know that's the kind of thought that could lead a person to start drinking gin at nine o'clock in the morning, and I don't want to go there.
– Elizabeth Gilbert
More quotes by Elizabeth Gilbert
I remember one day sitting at the pool and suddenly the tears were streaming down my cheeks. Why was I so unhappy? I had success. I had security. But it wasn't enough. I was exploding inside.
– Ingrid Bergman

I rejected the notion that my race or sex would bar my success in life.
– Constance Baker Motley
More quotes by Constance Baker Motley
I realise that I do not change the course of history. I am an actor, I do a movie, that's the end of it. You have to realise we are just clowns for hire. After I had success it was great, at first, not to worry about money. It was on my mind when I was growing up.
– Leonardo DiCaprio
More quotes by Leonardo DiCaprio
I raised five children. They all have different personalities. All of them have different issues, different levels of success. That was a learning experience for me.
